"How many more were killed?"
"Not many, haha, not many, brother, you personal guards haven't seen blood for a long time, so you can't hold back when you strike..."
"What do you mean, is it my fault?"
"How could brother be wrong? Look, don't those who are wrong lose their heads?"
"Ah, General Luo can actually speak. Who taught him this?"
There was a crisp snapping sound in the house. Don't think wrongly. Luo Shixin was beaten again. Xu Shiji and Zhao Shixun who were guarding the door didn't think wrongly. They looked at each other and lowered their eyes helplessly, feeling in their hearts.
My thoughts are general. Being an official with Luo Shixin is really not an interesting thing.
The king's favor and connivance towards this sworn brother are both envious and jealous of the generals in the army. However, the number of people who dare to confront Luo Shixin face to face is becoming increasingly rare.
For newly promoted relatives of the Han Dynasty like Xu Shiji and Zhao Shixun, the boring thing is that even if they become generals of the Wei Dynasty, they can hardly defeat Luo Shixin. There is no way to retaliate for the beatings and scolds they received in the past. Even the spiritual victory
There are no guys like them. Only they know how uncomfortable it is.
Especially for Xu Shiji, who was originally from Shandong and had led troops in Henan. Luo Shixin couldn't even look down on him. If he hadn't known that his brother valued this bastard more, he might have avenged General Zhang Xutuo.
.
Therefore, Xu Shiji's life was very difficult. The only thing that made him happy was that he served as the second left commander of the Han Palace. It was very convenient to walk in the Han Palace, and he could see the shadow of his sweetheart when he had free time.
If he had not been forced to do so, he would have wanted to stay in Jinyang to guard the Han Palace in place of Liu Jingsheng.
It has to be said that a famous general in the late Sui Dynasty was completely led astray. His life was in a blur, and he didn't even have much ambition left.
Zhao Shixun is from Pingyao and has been serving under Yuwen Huo. His family has nothing to worry about and he is an out-and-out grassroots man. His father died due to hard labor and his mother remarried. He joined the army at the age of fourteen and has been in the army for eight years now.
Whether mentally, physically, or career-wise, he is on a rapid rise. He is upright and brave, and is Luo Shixin's favorite candidate for his comrade.
But he happened to be closer to Xu Shiji, so the young generals in charge of the Han Dynasty were divided into old and new.
To be honest, these two guys are the kind of people who are fierce to the core, but in front of Luo Shixin, they are obviously not fierce enough...
"You are good at killing officials without any supervision or report..." Li Po's scolding sounded light, but when he beat him, he was very hard, hitting Luo Shixin's big head bit by bit.
Li Po came out refreshed, took a quick look, and said, "What are you doing? Pei Xu stays behind to capture the thief's accomplices, and the rest are ready to set off and follow me to the county town."
Passing by the county magistrate, he said calmly to the ashen-faced magistrate, "The confiscated property will be distributed to the people. If I hear a complaint from everyone in Xiangyuan County, huh..."
After leaving Xiangyuan County, Li Po sighed inwardly. He wanted to divide the land among the local tycoons... He had never done this when he was a junior official. He didn't expect that he would become the king. Instead, he wanted to do it. It was a ghost.
Already.
After passing the Xiangyuan incident, Li Po had no intention of stopping any longer and galloped straight to Shangdang County.
When passing by Lucheng, I went into the city and took a look around. It was quieter than Xiangyuan, and there were not many people here waiting for his arrival.
But it was a little too quiet. There was nothing I could do about it. There was a bandit attack here the year before last. The Emperor Dasheng had been tyrannical here for several months, leaving Lucheng in a mess.
Don't talk about whether it has recovered or not. Ten or twenty years from now, this place will probably look like this. If you give it too good treatment, there may be people who don't know their last names again.
……………………
More than 20 miles north of the city of Shangdang County, the prefect Pei Shiqing led an army of Chinese and Western troops to meet them on the left side of the road.
Pei Shiqing seems to have changed little. Now that he governs two counties, he still looks tepid.
What happened in Xiangyuan County had been reported overnight, which made him somewhat uneasy. He believed that the Shangdang had already shed enough blood, and the rest should come slowly.
Since he took over Shangdang, in addition to cutting off Yan Zong's head to shock everyone, he has also been sorting out the officials in the county, and now it has almost reached its peak.
Next, it will be the turn to restore people's livelihood, send people to eliminate the various bandit nests entrenched in the mountains, etc.
According to his idea, within three to five years, Shangdang can return to some normalcy. From this point of view, he is similar to Chen Xiaoyi and others. They are both figures who have been in officialdom for a long time and have a lot of experience in governing local areas.
Satisfied, I like the step-by-step management model.
Neither will we be lazy because the place is barren, nor will we do anything quick and easy just because time is tight.
It is not uncommon for him to approach Shangdang from an unusual angle: to win over local ethnic groups, especially in Shangdang, a place where various ethnic groups live together, he also provides courtesy to the leaders and leaders of some foreign ethnic groups. He believes that this is essential for governing the place.
One less step.
Obviously, Li Po's arrival disrupted his plan. As soon as Li Po arrived, he went on a killing spree in Xiangyuan. The reaction of the local powerful was difficult to predict.
Of course, at most it will only add some trouble, and nothing major will happen. At this time, there are fewer and fewer people who can mobilize people to rebel, especially the Shangdang.
Therefore, he was just a little uneasy and not too worried about it. Instead, he was more considering the purpose of the parading supreme party.
Are you worried about him, Pei Shiqing...or are you worried about the Hedong Pei family?
This is actually a problem, a particularly troublesome problem. Now that he is far away from Jiangjun, he is no longer sure about Pei's future.
Zhang Lun, who was standing side by side with Pei Shiqing, was scratching his beard and looking down the official road from time to time.
As one of the eight generals under Li Po's command, Zhang Lun has stepped up almost every year in the past few years, and his desire for military glory is no less than that of others.
If anyone else were to serve as this county captain, they would be very impatient, but Zhang Lun was different. He felt that he could lead his troops to pacify Shangdang, and the military merits of Changping and the two counties would be enough for him to enjoy for a while.
However, he was promoted too quickly, his foundation was weak, and his military qualifications could not be compared with other generals of the Guard, so he thought that he needed some time to accumulate, and being appointed as Shangdang County Lieutenant was a good place.
Even though he had not read a few books, his thoughts were indeed not simple. The bearded man had a lot of eyes, so Li Po really did not accuse him unjustly.
The only regret was that he did not stay in Jinyang when His Highness the King of Han proclaimed himself king. According to his idea, there should be a general among the generals of the Wei government soon.
Those who stay in Jinyang at this time will undoubtedly have the advantage of being close to the water and the towers. Of course, the generals outside will have hard work without credit. His Highness the King of Han has always been fair and will not forget them.
Therefore, Zhang Lun's stay in Shangdang was very stable, and he had been discussing with the prefect Pei Shiqing about the suppression of bandits. No more, no less, it was considered military merit, and suppressing bandits could also be used to train troops.
Most of the troops under his command were captured by the Tang army who surrendered with him. After that, because he was appointed as the general of the Weifu, the number of soldiers he led immediately increased. It was different from Li Tang's side. The official rank was not that high, but the real power was
Multiply.
Li Po valued him very much, which made him very grateful. It is said that a scholar dies for a confidant. Since he has surrendered to the Ming Lord, he will not be a villain with his big beard. When he finds the right time, he has to let everyone see his
Loyalty is definitely no worse than others.
His ambition is definitely unmatched by Pei Shiqing. It can be seen that Li Po's control over his generals and soldiers is far better than that of civilian officials.
Moreover, this situation will tend to intensify as the territory increases.
Zhang Lun also heard about what happened in Xiangyuan. Unlike Pei Shiqing, he didn't take it seriously at all. To say that the person who killed the most people in Shangdang was definitely no one else. His reputation for having a big beard can even stop children's sleep in Shangdang.
Just cry.
Especially when he went south with Li Yuan, he marched to Dang and Changping with 3,000 troops. Not to mention the number of people killed in the battle between the two armies, and after the war, he could not even remember how many heads he chopped off.
.
With the dignity of His Highness the King of Han, what does it mean to kill a small county lieutenant and a bookkeeper? It is actually no different from trampling to death a few ants blocking the road.
Like other generals, what he was afraid of was not what happened to His Highness the King of Han, but a guy like Luo Shixin. When he was angry, you didn't know what he could do.
Standing behind Pei Shiqing and Zhang Lun is Sun Jingde, the Prime Minister of Shangdang County. Shangdang Bie Yu Mengxuan. These two are in-laws. The eldest Sun Jingde is the eldest son of Shangdang Wenxuan King Sun Zhi, and the eldest son of the Luoyang family.
From the same origin.
This family is undoubtedly one of the more prominent ones among the Jin clans. The eldest son of Shangdang has guarded Shangdang for several generations and has been called the king of Shangdang. Today, the eldest son of the eastern capital is just a branch of them.
They are the firmly established households in the Shangdang. Their status in the Shangdang can be compared to that of the King of Jinyang. However, the Changsun family of the Eastern Capital seems to be prosperous. In contrast, the main branch of the Shangdang has gone downhill.
He was still unable to show his name in the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty.
Yu Mengxuan was born in the Yu family in Tunliu, and was an in-law of the Changsun family. During Yan Zong's reign, they were severely suppressed. Pei Shiqing became the leader of the Shangdang. As a disciple of the Pei family, the Yu family naturally joined the Changsun family in joining Pei Shiqing.
Changping County Chancellor Fan Wenjin was also with them at this time. This guy who came all the way was obviously a representative of the Changping clan...
This group of more than 20 people, plus their respective subordinates, stood in a dark and respectful manner beside the road, staring longingly at the official road and whispering, making the atmosphere here both solemn and mixed with restlessness...
The sky in Shangdang is changing colors, and people's hearts are also changing accordingly. The heroes of Shangdang gather together, trying hard to find their own place.
